Tim: I found the block diagram "Flex5000_FDX_Architecture.pdf" but it doesn't have enough detail to show how the RF path is really switched. Is there an additional, more detailed, block diagram available? (The one in the manual is the same as the PDF file on the download page.) You know, a schematic would be even better. Even Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu provide schematics for their radios. For that matter, if it is true that the tuner cannot be placed in the RX path, I am disappointed. On higher bands a good antenna match means better system noise figure.
